Owner manual

Typically the Show Start Buttons to call up all the shows that are

loaded into Smart Brick System are programmed as active during the

E-Stop and Load/Unload shows. During the main shows, typically

none of them are enabled. If any are enabled, then the user can jump

directly out of the currently running show and into the one(s) that have

been enabled. This is sometimes used to enable a ʻparkʼ show that

brings the motion base home without having to do anything as drastic

as an E-Stop. Any show that is enabled while another show is running

will be enabled even during a show pause. Make sure that if you are

using this technique, that the show that is jumped into has the Show

Pause Reset Input set for at least a few frames at the beginning. Oth-

erwise the new show will begin running, but the Show Pause functions

of the Kp-300 wonʼt be reset (the pause LED will remain lit, and the

next Show Pause event will be ignored). At the end of the pulse on the

Show Pause Reset Input, the Kp-300 will check for an outstanding

Show Pause condition. If one still persists, then the new show will be

paused.

If shows must be run in a certain order, you can program this into

the motion proﬁle stored on the Smart Brick System. An example of

this would be a motion base that has separate entrance and exit

doors. The main shows all lead into a show that leaves the exit doors

opened

. The only show that is enabled for the operator is a short

show that closes the exit doors (and maybe turns off the cabin lights)

so that the system is ready to be parked or loaded with the next group

of riders. The operator would start this show once he conﬁrmed that

the cabin was clear. At the end of this show another show is enabled

that opens the entrance door (and turns on the cabin lights). The op-

erator would call this up when it is time to load the next batch of riders.

At the end of this short show, all the possible main shows are enabled

for the operators. One of these would be started once all the riders

were safely seated (and the belts logged, if needed). All of these short

shows can have accompanying audio and/or video if it has been pro-

grammed video player.

The Br-ANA Analog Output Smart Brick can be conﬁgured to do an

If the motion base has exit doors that must be operated only when the operator deems it safe, all the main shows can leave only

the button to jump to a short show that opens the doors enabled for the operators.
